Lawyer Elizabeth Beck was deposing Donald Trump during a legal battle over a failed Florida real estate investment when she felt a sensation that any breastfeeding mother can identify with. Her boobs were full. Lactation was imminent.

Beck, who had a 3-month-old baby at home, requested to take a medical break in order to pump, according to documents obtained by the New York Times.

"Mr. Trump and his lawyers objected, demanding that the deposition continue. Ms. Beck said it was urgent — she needed to pump breast milk for her 3-month-old daughter, and she took the pump out to make her point," the Times reported.

That's when the future presidential candidate called the lawyer "disgusting."

Alan Garten, an attorney for Trump, defended the presidential hopeful's behavior throughout the depositions, telling the Times that "unlike the other candidates (all of whom are career politicians), [Mr. Trump] is a determined businessman who stands up for what he believes, speaks his mind and talks from the heart.”

Speaking with CNN's Dana Bash Wednesday afternoon, Trump called Beck a "horrible person" and claimed that the lawyer had attempted to pump her breasts in front of him, rather than requesting a break.

Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner, executive director and CEO of MomsRising, summed up what Beck was facing as a mother returning to work post-childbirth.

"While women makes 78 cents to a man's dollar, moms are making 69 cents to a dad's dollar," Rowe-Finkbeiner told Yahoo News. "We have significant wage, hiring and other discrimination against moms in America right now and comments like those Donald Trump made about breastfeeding reinforce that discrimination."
